The Handbook of Privacy Studies is the first book in the world that
brings together several disciplinary perspectives on privacy, such
as the legal, ethical, medical, informatics and anthropological
perspective. Privacy is in the news almost every day: mass
surveillance by intelligence agencies, the use of social media data
for commercial profit and political microtargeting, password hacks
and identity theft, new data protection regimes, questionable reuse
of medical data, and concerns about how algorithms shape the way we
think and decide. This book offers interdisciplinary background
information about these developments and explains how to understand
and properly evaluate them. The book is set up for use in
interdisciplinary educational programmes. Each chapter provides a
structured analysis of the role of privacy within that discipline,
its characteristics, themes and debates, as well as current
challenges. Disciplinary approaches are presented in such a way
that students and researchers from every scientific background can
follow the argumentation and enrich their own understanding of
privacy issues.
